Fine X 2

Possibly the most dynamic duo of the decade was George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley forming the two-man band, Wham!

They made two kinds of songs; Finger-poppin'-feel-good and weepy sad. They played both very well.

Sadly, Wham! disbanded after only three albums. George Michael went on to do a successful solo career. Andrew Ridgeley went on to race cars, have a not-so-successful solo career, and fade out of sight.

I miss Wham! and wish they would get back together to make more music. Really, would a reunion of two musicians be all that terribly difficult?

Ban This!

Controversy anyone? Any attention, even negative attention, can be the best thing to happen to an artist's career.

When George Michael left Wham! for a solo career, he started it off with the infamously titled "I Want Your Sex."

The song itself is rather bland but the juicy title caused such outrage that many radio stations (both US and UK) banned it. George Michael's solo career soared! Everyone wanted to buy a copy of it because simply because of it being called "immoral."



I'll be publishing a book soon. For the record, it's immoral and should be banned. Tell everyone about this outrage.
